Insane Megatower Mod 2.1

Why when I go into edit mode does it say CAN'T EDIT LEVEL NOT FINISHED when in fact it is? Otherwise its a good mod.

 

- Oh no wait, Put the office file in with the complete file and that messed it up. Its all fine now!

 

 

All residential happiness Tweaked so residential levels dont leave constantly

 

Sounds good, but my opinion is that 3600 is a bit too much. around 1800-2000 would be enough.

 

Or if there's a way to add a config file? that'd be amazing.

Not working :(

Not working for me too ... The first level keeps building forever

havent seen anything like you describe, can you give any other info? what kind of tower, mode you are in etc?

Haha, this is an interesting mod. Say, will you give it a try to come up with a mod that enables more levels to the towers? Maybe 20 levels? :)

lol i've been looking at a lot of the tower stuff in the packages, and i cant seem to find the levels or maximum towers data anywhere. It has a different structure to other buildings, Which makes sense given the extra UI and stuff. Assuming the code is accessible to modding, im not so sure it would be an easy thing to change lol

Excellent work here, thank you.

Not working....

annoying this mod  : (

Hi Brenflakes! I recently installed your mod and I came across a problem. While in game, my megatowers weren't building at all. I put both of your files in the (SimCityData) folder. I would like to know if you could give me a suggestion as to how I could fix the problem. Please respond if possible.

 

Thanks

Hi, I tried building in offline sandbox mode, the tower just keeps building, I left it for around 10 minutes, I put both files in, then tried putting in one by one, but no luck. 

Just figured out the issue (was able to replicate the tower not building finally). its to do with the installation. I'll update the install instructions on a sec, but basically you need to copy SimCityDLCEP1-Scripts_287520926.package from the EcoGame folder to the SimCityData folder and that should fix the issue.

Kind of buggy. Mine's doesnt show the population numbers like yours do. I have strings of text...

 

example:

 

~amount:number~/~capacity:number~string~ in place of where it would show the population number in the apartment.

 

 

The population numbers work, but cant see how many are inside the apartment and can't tell what is their hapiness without looking at the data map. I also cannot bulldoze the tower. It would bullduze to the base floor, but you can't delete the base because it will resurrect itself. Once placed, it will be stuck there.

It works for me if I move it (not copy). I'm wondering if this will not be an issue in the future, maybe beeing part of the core program.

 

Otherwhise, this works perfectly. I'm using it because my archeology population doesn't increase. Thanks for this mod

its work , wow .
thank you

Thats really odd, i have the file in both locations and it works fine. the only way i was able to recreate the above issues was to remove that file from the simcitydata directory, adding it back in removed the problems.
 Strange, but glad its working now.

Saw you made update today, what were the changes?  just want to see if I want to update, working fine for me as it is...  Thanks!

It has now been updated to 2.0!

I like the 2.0 changes, thank you.

some facts for you from the DevTest side on CoT's and the values.

 

Day 2 of testing we had a video conference call with maxis' and the production manager and developers on the project.

 

We stated that we felt that the towers were underwhelming and lacked sustained value to the game to be of ongoing interest due to expense and the lack of population.

 

My values on this statement of asking for increased value were based on the following facts

 

A Tower is 1K tall with 7 Layers and a crown taking up 4 D3 locations at the base.

 

That means each tower should be 600 D1 * 4 * 7 = 16800 population for an entire D3 $1 Tower as it stands which is not enough. 

 

We asked for a 400% or 4x increase in those values and were said it was going to slow down the game and made the game inconsistent with the nature of the CoTs Expansion.

 

As a result it never happened but we asked.. We also posted this information in and on reddit since nobody in devtest was honestly happy with the values or sustained values of any tower completed to the city its in.

This is just freaking amazing. I love it.

great mods mr brenflakes. but i still have problems. i tried to use it but the megatower won't build. i have read your instructions, still won't work. please help me. one more question. do i have to put all the files or just use one of them??? because in your instructions says to choose one. please help me. thank you mr brenflakes

@xoxide: But did they actually test it with 4 times the current amount of population? Else, why didn't they made it 4 times cheaper to compensate?

This mod causes the 'why am I unhappy' issue with the megatowers. Moving the file from eco did not work. like other mods, some experience this issue and others don't. It's beyound frustrating becuase the modders assure I'm doing something wrong. Just another mod that'll have to be ignored.

I havent seen any happiness issues in the towers, at least not without a cause anyway.

 

The way mods work, to be honest, i dont fully understand still. Some people put the scripts package in the userdata folder, i've seen people say put it into the packages folder... for me it works in userdata, so thats what i say to use. I dont think its the mod that has the issue, rather the game itself.
